Click here to see all the detail you need for the upcoming ONE MAN SCRAMBLE at Currie.

Please know this is our season ending event and after the round we'll take care of club business, such as; distribute winnings, hand out some awards, vote on next year's club officers, etc...

Please know this is a an unusual format so please make sure you know what flight you are in (Champ and A play from the Blues and B flight plays from the Whites), what hole you are starting on (this is a Shotgun start) and HOW THE FORMAT WORKS....Read below for format description and recommended strategy.

Format: One-Man Scramble - Each player gets two extra shots per hole but must pick up at boggie. Can only use one extra shot per shot (example; cannot take three shots at birdie putt if on par 4 green in regulation without using any extra shots). If extra shot is taken then you can chose the better of the two shots to hit your next ball from (aka SCRAMBLE)

Recommended strategy: Hit tee ball in fairway! If you miss the fairway and it is in the trees, walk to your ball and hit a second shot (save your scramble shots) - get the second shot close to the green or back into play! Use your first scramble shot (one of the two extra shots) to hit your second or third shot close to the pin, Use your second scramble shot (two of the two extra shots) on taking two putts at making par or birdie, Key is to attempt to hit fairway on your tee shot or at least give yourself a shot at hitting it near the green.

Thanks to all of you who participated throughout the season. I appreciate the spirited effort and particularly the great showing defending our home court. For the match, we finished in 3rd place, 6 points behind 2nd place Whitnall. I originally thought we finished second, but, in reviewing the scoring matrix I noticed some problems with the totaling and did my own calculation, manually. The Currie match and the season was won by Greenfield with 653 points for the 5 matches. This averages out to be 130 points per match or 13 points per man for the season. Something for us to target for next year. I revised the totals summary for the season and we finished in 4th place, only 27 points behind Oakwood. Considering that we didn't always have our lowest handicap players available I think this is a pretty outstanding accomplishment for Team Currie. Thanks to Dave Labinski and his staff for all the help with scoring and the challenging course setup.

Match Highlights:

John Dobroski shot an outstanding 1 under par 70 and got 15 points. Congrats, John, for that amazing round! Not far behind was Dave Ullenberg with a 74 and 14 points, Steve Wolter with a 75 and 15 points, Ken Collins with a 77 and 13 points, and Dominic Carini with a 77 and 12 points.

Other leaders in the points column were the ever reliable Rich Saks with an 82 and 12 points and yours truly with an 85 and 14 points.

Ken Collins got a skin on #6 with a birdie and Dave Ullenberg got a skin on #11 with a birdie.

Thanks to everybody who played and grinded out every point you could get. We represented ourselves well and we can take this competitive spirit into next season.

Please know that Wanaki just aerated their
greens..........they did the small holes, with sanding and are expecting them
to heal quickly but they want us to know that the greens will not be
"perfect". In consideration of our keeping the event at Wanaki, they have
dropped their greens fees to $25 walking.

In celebration of the Wisconsin State Golf Association's NET PARTNERS Championship on 9/20 we will be playing a NET PARTNERS (WSGA Stableford Format) on 9/17 to GET IN THE SPIRIT for Currie to represent at the championship.

All teams, pairings and important details are on the event page.

Back 9 Bunker Issue

Please know that I spoke with the course today and there are some bunkers on the back nine that are not playable and therefore we'll have a special rule to allow a drop outside of the bunkers but no closer to the hole (regarding those particular bunkers). They are repairing/filling some of the bunkers between now and Sunday and we will find out, on Sunday morning, which ones we will allow a drop from.
